| Additional Course Info | Class Number: 2747 This course explores anthropological approaches to the law and legal regimes, with special emphasis on the relationship between law, power and politics, social hierarchy and the institutionalization of inequality in the United States in the context of the War on Drugs. We will consider how this happens through an extended study of criminalization, punishment, mass incarceration and The War on Drugs in the United States. We will explore the effects of the criminalization system on drug users, communities, and incarcerated people themselves, and discuss the relationship between criminalization processes and other modes of social segregation and stratification.
